"[A] delightful study. . . . His remarkably lucid and readable essay is full of contemporary relevance and informed by the energies of a man in love with his subject."—Robert Taylor, Boston Globe
"A model of what a historical survey should be."—Richard J. Morris, Los Angeles Times
"This survey of the aesthetics off medieval Latin civilization . . . reveals the insight and eloquence that would later gain him worldwide fame after the release of his novel, The Name of the Rose."—Alida Beccker, Philadelphia Inquirer
"An original and illuminating synthesis of disciplines usually treated separately."—Sunday Times
"The book lays out so many exciting ideas and interesting facts that readers will find it gripping."—Washington Post Book World
"Fresh and useful in this highly readable translation. . . . A brief but accurate introduction to a vast field."—Library Journal
